ARTHUR J. LELYVELD CENTER FOR JEWISH LEARNING

Many congregants and community members, early childhood center students and religious school students visit and research in our Arthur J. Lelyveld Center for Jewish Learning with its extensive library collection for ongoing Jewish study, individual reflection, and to explore our new genealogy materials incorporated in 2011 from the collection of the Jewish Genealogy Society of Cleveland.

The Lelyveld Center for Jewish Learning includes 17,500 books, magazines and newspapers as well as an extensive audio-visual collection and a Children’s Library. Founded in 1986, the Leylveld Center for Jewish Learning includes the Sam and Emma Miller Library for adults and the Celia Smith Rogovin Children’s Library. Together they make up one of the largest synagogue libraries in the country, and are open to the community, free of charge.
